MONTHLY UPDATE

May 2019

This month we add the booklet Fight for Freedom to the archive. This was written by Joe Pearce, whilst he was incarcerated in prison for editing the ethnic Nationalist youth publication Bulldog, and was first published in 1984.

Welcome to the Roots of Radicalism

The term 'alt-right' has become widely used in recent years. It does not describe a single,
monolithic ideology, but rather a spectrum of related ideas and values. However, it can be said
that the alt-right generally:

Recognises the positive values of group identities, nationalities and ethnicities;

Is prepared to unflinchingly challenge the dominant values of the liberal consensus, including
the obsessive egalitarianism of the left;

Is not materialistic, and does not think that economic growth is the solution to every problem;

Does not believe itself to be on the same side as global capitalism – this, more than anything
else, distinguishes the 'alternative right' from the conventional right.

Mainstream media commentators, blinkered by years of liberal orthodoxy, have tended to
regard the alt-right as a disturbing, new phenomenon. We hope they are right to be disturbed,
but they are wrong if they think that the 'alt-right' is new: its roots go back a long way, long
before the term 'alt-right' had ever been thought of.

This website looks at the British contribution to this dissident political heritage, and – when
finished – will include hundreds of articles from a wide variety of sources, from independent
thinkers to those supporting nationalistic political parties.

As you will see these articles do not represent a single 'party line'. The writers used a variety of
different terms to describe themselves: not 'alt-right' but radical right or new right. Indeed many
would have rejected the term 'right-wing' altogether, believing that they were trying to create an
alternative to the existing, conventional Left-Right dichotomy and not wanting to be confused
with the capitalist right. Such people generally used terms like 'radical nationalist' or 'ethnic
nationalist' to describe themselves. Needless to say, the political Left used rather different
terms, of varying degrees of ranting hysteria...

We believe, however, that the content of their writings are more significant than the labels
attached to them. What these writers have in common is that they cared about Britain and the
British people and tried to show that there is an alternative to the conventional '-isms' of
capitalism, liberalism, socialism or communism.

We hope you find this website to be a useful resource. It is our intention to add about thirty
articles a month to the site, so please bookmark us, and visit us again from time to time. If there
are worthy publications, authors and articles you feel we have overlooked please contact us and
let us know – we make no claims to omniscience!
